To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we,Gnoaen QFRYE and FRED C. Romans, citizens of the-United States, residing at Portland, in the county of Cumberland and State of Maine, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Aseptic Razor-Strops and Dispensers, of which the following is a specification.

Our improvement relates to aseptic razor strops and dispenser therefor. It is specially designed to be used in barber shops in the place of strops now in common use.

which are used repeatedly and are therefore likely to become insanitary.

The object of our invention isto provide a strop of such material and in such form that a portion may be used and then separated and thrown away, airesh portion being' used for each customer.

Another object is to provide a convenient dispenser for the strop.

We have illustrated in the drawings what at present seems to be the preferred embodiment of our invention.

In the drawing herewith accompanying and making a part of this application, Figure 1 is a perspective view of our improved strop dispenser showing a portion of the strop: Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the same and Fig. 3 is a vertical section of the same.

Same reference characters indicate like parts in the several figures.

In said drawing A is a suitable container for the strop. B a door to admit the roll C of strop material which is in the form of a continuous ribbon of flexible material and may or may not be treated with a fine buding material or a mildabrasive like crocus flour. The free end of the strop material projects through a slot D in the container. Adjacent and above the. slot is a stop E. The container is provided with a cutter E which may be formed on the top edge of the stop. Pivotally attached to trnnnions F in the ends of the container is a clamping lever designated as a whole by the-character G. This lever has a locking bar H extending across the container below said slot and a locking bar operating arm I spaced apart from and under the bar H and having an open and J to admit the strop sidewise thereunder. The apparatus may be attached to a table. shelf or wall in any convenient manner. As shown it has a clamping jaw K and a set screw L. It should be mounted about hip high.

The operation of our improved device is as follows: The roll of strop material is laced in the container, its free end proecting through the slot provided therefor and between the stop and said locking bar. The barber takes hold of the projecting free end of the stro draws it out a suflicient tions may be repeated until the roll of material is exhausted, when a fresh roll may be placed in the container. By our improved method the razor never comes in contact with an insanitary strop.

Having described our invention and its uses, we claim:

1. A. magazine razor strop comprising a long narrow flexible ribbon of any suitable stropping material made into the form of a roll and means for dispensing it comprising a container with a narrow opening for dis pensing the strop, a stop on one side of said opening and a pivoted bar on the other side of said opening and means operable by the free end of the strop to lock the strop temporarily between said stop and bar.

2. A magazine razor strop comprising a long narrow flexible ribbon of any suitable stropping material made into the form of a roll and means for dispensing it comprising a container provided with a long narrow opening for dispensing the strop. a stop and cutter on one side of said opening and a pivoted locking bar on the other side of said opening and means operable by the free end of the strop to lock the strop temporarily between said stop and bar.

3. A magazine razor stropcomprising a long flexible ribbon of any suitable stropwith a long narrow opening for dispensing opening and a alongthe edge of said ocking bar pivotally attached to the ends of the container having a transversely extending bar adapted to lock the strop, a stql) the strop against said stop and a lever arm substantially parallel with said bar and hav: ing a free end adapted to let the strop in and out sidewise.

In testimony whereof we afiix our signatures 1n presence of two wltnesses.
